Applying EVA to tailored virtual, distance, on-line education via Internet

An on-line system has been developed for on-line education, where each student has unique study needs. In EVA, each student pursues his own syllabus, advances at his own pace, starts anytime, and uses material delivered by EVA. Collaboration with current "classmates" and use of historic information are also important ingredients. Interaction with the adviser is both synchronous and differed. This article briefly describes how EVA starts its first serious use: delivering a M. Sc. program in Computer Science to 500 remote students, called evanauts. A companion article describes EVA's architecture and theoretical underpinnings.
